### 1/5 — Layla

*2026-08-25, version 4.2.47*

sorry

### 1/5 — Please fix your game

*2026-08-25, version 4.2.47*

PLEASE, HOW DO I DOWNGRADE YOUR GAME? I DON’T LIKE THIS NEW VERSION IT KEEPS CRASHING, AND A LOT OF MY FAVORITE FEATURES ARE CHANGED.

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2026-08-24, version 4.2.47*

This one will be a short one: Long story short, FlipaClip sucks.

Why you may ask? It’s because it’s so limited, the max amount of layers is 10, and there’s ads everywhere. I switched to ToonSquid after years of using FlipaClip, and I don’t regret it.

To people who still have FlipaClip: FlipaClip is great for making short animations, but eventually you might outgrow FlipaClip and move on to another animation software. (If you’re still interested in animation by then ofc)

Thanks for reading!

### 1/5 — flipaclip sucks

*2026-08-23, version 4.2.47*

why are there ads
this app is just mean to beginner animators

it sucks

### 1/5 — Very greedy

*2026-08-23, version 4.2.47*

You have to pay or an ad for a 4th layer, and an ad pops up every few minutes

### 1/5 — The worst appp ever

*2026-08-23, version 4.2.47*

I was making a bfdi asset remake and it deleted everything worst animation app ever I’m moving on to alight motion don’t try it there are also ads everywhere FlipaClip keeps asking to pay

### 1/5 — too many adds then i click out the add and it crashes

*2026-08-23, version 4.2.47*

bad and also no transparent background for free its so mean

### 1/5 — this is actually so bad

*2026-08-23, version 4.2.47*

flipaclip you were the best free animation software in the whole app store until flipaclip premium became a subscription most people who purchased something: “no ads” and “unlimited layers”doesn’t work now, you people have turned money hungry after making it into a subscription and can we talk about the ads? there’s an ad for everything you do! draw, ad. new layer, ad. exit, ad. open, ad. exist, ad. please go back to old flipaclip.

### 1/5 — Why are you money hungry

*2026-08-22, version 4.2.47*

features that were once free, or were obtainable through an ad are now locked behind a paywall this is gross and disgusting stop before EVERYONE stops using your app because you KNOW it’s starting to die out

### 1/5 — just get something else

*2026-08-21, version 4.2.47*

Any features worth using are put behind a Subscription that cost the same amount as buying a 6 inch Subway sandwich every month. That includes removing the watermark, almost every single brush, and having over 3 total layers. Just get RoughAnimator or ToonSquid

*2026-08-25, version 4.2.47*

I go into discover. I click “Jax Walk Cycle”. I wanna see the inspo vid, so I click it. Does nothing! And the like how-to-animate sort of videos weren’t working either!! Please help!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-25, version 4.2.47*

When I first tried it, I didn’t really think it had that much frames, but when I created my first animation, I instantly loved it. Please add more updates!!! It makes our app better!

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD but one problem

*2026-08-24, version 4.2.47*

This app is very good. Don’t get me wrong but there is one problem at and subscription whenever you want to put more layers you have to pay your subscription and everything else. I just wanted to be like we’re over five layers. You need to pay a subscription not over three or four like five and six you have to get an ad to get them but 7 to 8 you have to pay a subscription.
